Sorry this happened to you dude. I don’t want to be harsh but, out of the crimes ignored in this era of AI clean rooming, book destroying distilleries and a despondent ostrich adjacent legal system you do seem to be one amongst a deluge of cheated individuals.

Hope you manage to get it sorted but I have no idea how that would go down at this point. I’m sure at least one of them could claim they copied it off the other ones and then you’re shit out of luck.

The things you've quoted and your conclusion feel at odds. They just don't want AI contributions, and they, like a lot of the world, are bored of hearing about AI. Is it really too much to ask?

Strange in what way? Mitchell has also stated that he reviews every line of code that goes into Ghostty so I don't think its quite the same as the Bun rewrite.

He specifically says in that presentation that they are open to LLMs helping them get to bug free, but because the language is still in flux, they would rather prioritise bugs users actually find rather than those found by LLMs, essentially with the intent of unblocking people rather than wasting time fixing things that may need to be fixed again or be wasted work come the next update.

Some of the functionalities in the core/foundation library don’t quite match between operating systems so sometimes you do need to put an “#if os(macos) do” etc, but for the most part its super straight forward working on one or another platform.

In terms of its language features it has all of those and more, sometimes too many in my opinion.

I personally favour languages that are clear in their vision. However at its core Swift is a highly performant language that is designed really well, has beautiful syntax, and in the last 5 or so years I have been impressed with its direction. It is being developed by a good team who listen to their community but not at the expense of the languages vision.

My favourite aspect of using it though is its versatility. Wether you’re working on embedded systems, a game, a web server, or even a static site generator, it always feels like the language is there to support your vision, but still give you the fine grained control you need to optimise for performance.

I also collaborate with a friend who is a Rust developer and he’s always super happy to work on a Swift project with me so I feel like that’s enough praise when you can pull a rest dev away from their beloved.

If anyone reads this and like me fears the difficulty and complexity of rust, but still wants a language that is competitive in performance, works for system level programming as well as something more general purpose definitely give Swift a go.

Over the last year I’ve started to write every new project using it. On windows, on linux and mac.

It is honestly a wonderful language to work with. Its mature, well designed, has a lot of similarities to rust. Has incredible interop with C, C++, Objective-C and even Java as of this year which feels fairly insane. It also is ergonomic as hell and well understood by LLM’s so is easy to get into from a 0 starting point.

Tf do you even mean by this?
